Transitional Employment Assistance
The TEA Program offers temporary assistance designed to enable families with children to take charge of their own well-being, reducing their reliance on public aid. Beyond just monthly financial aid, the program offers services like job preparation, transportation support, childcare aid, and additional support services. These are aimed at helping parents participate in work, education, or training activities.
The Division of County Operations oversees the TEA Program, handling the administration and determining eligibility for both the Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) and Work Pays Programs.
